jbl audio system draining aux battery

[Flying White Dutchman]

i am not sure it was on this forum but somewhere somebody posted that a problem with a 2004-2005 model prius and the jbl audio system draining the 12 volt battery when car is parked and closed

anyone now anything about this?

i think i have a similar experience

I do remember reading a thread that said, leaving the audio power button ON when shutting down the car will drain the aux.
Not sure where I saw it though?

yes
but i did a inside thread search and there is no mansion about jbl system draining the battery

edit
i googled

There is a white multi-pronged plug that plugs into the JBL amp under the seat (accessed from the rear of the front passenger seat) that the Toyota Service Manager showed me how to unplug whenever I was going to leave the car for more than a few hours. This would prevent the amp from draining the 12V battery while I was waiting for the replacement JBL amp to arrive and be installed. Once you start the car, just plug the wire back into the amp in order to use your stereo.
